Sounds good to me in the new form! I found the new formulation in the 
.txt attached to your mail but not in the online document, so I think it 
needs to be updated online as well.


With the new sketch the gripper frames are much clearer! Is there a 
rationale in using x going "up" in this case (collinear) and y "towards" 
the object? With REP-103 I would say that x forward and z up is much 
more intuitive ("in relation to a body" would hereby relate to the 
gripper / end effector). Maybe someone familiar with the existing 
grapsing pipeline(s) can chime in here.

Best regards,
Armin
